If Drew wanted to, he could buy their royalties.

This website claims that you can buy "Creative Units". Not stocks, not crypto, but a secret third thing. It's backed by the financial success of a MUSICIAN, which, fine, I think a platform where fans can invest in an artist so the artist doesn't have to get funding from an oligarch, and the fans aren't throwing away money they can't afford to lose is a good idea, BUT... there's no information on how the artist is supposed to pay you back. Gigastar dot com (also probably a scam) is at least tied directly to the creator's YouTube adsense. Meaning you get a fractional share of ad revenue, but not merch or sponsors. It's also not a stock, it's a token, but it is tied to performance, which is more tangible than most crypto tokens, and there's a secondary market where people can possibly buy your token for more than you paid for it (good luck with that). Don't invest in creators or artists expecting to get your money back, please support directly with ko-fi or Patreon, but if you're looking to invest don't do it with these no names, get an e-trade or do it through your bank.

The PIT is great, but I'm looking for a few others to hit up. Ideally in Manhattan, but I get it that Brooklyn is the improv place to be right now.
